Around 70m IRC. They've got a 100 kilowatt laser they are working
on but they are doing tests with the 10 kilowatt without the
shield they were using before to avoid blinding satellites.

They seem to be having more luck with avoiding destroying
their craft as well.

A megawatt laser should be capable of putting 1kg into
orbit... Should be interesting.

The most important part about this is that it can scale
rather well. Even small craft may be able to make orbit.
